You seem to wait decades to get stuffs you are looking for ;)

Since seeing is believing is not possible, pictures would do some justice :D

[DAVE]

Pretty Sweet!

I have been trying to get a Purple Monster from Darryl forever....

I first eyed his stuff last year, we've been waiting for spring to ensure shipping went well.

Shipping was actually great. Less than 20 hours in box from Ontario to Victoria, I arrived at UPS as I got the email to pick up, and 10 minutes from home. Floated for an hour(ish), temp was good and transferred to frag tank. Polyps out on most 10 minutes later. The Pearlberry just glows from across the room, incredible piece!!

We need to talk.....

[Aquattro]

We need to talk.....


wondering when you'd show up :) Now where is Wayne??

[DAVE]

I think he is hiding that piece from me ;)

Maybe when its time to frag I will get one shipped back from BC to ONT :)

With the reputed growth rate of that coral, I just may have a spot on the list in about 2 years -lol
I'm sure that after I make a spot for it in the display, it won't NEED fragging ever.

I can fax you a certificate. Let me know how many copies so I can print enough.

Thanks! I will also need specimens to go along with the certificates.

[Aquattro]

No problem, I'll fax those too.

I am displaying my lack of knowledge but is this from a store or a private sale?

[spit.fire]

Why are there still no pics :(

[Aquattro]

Why are there still no pics :(

Because I have to be at work to pay for the frags. It's sad, I know, but necessary. Pics after work.

[Duker]

Yup guys n gals I was there when he unpacked them, they are simply stunning!
100% satisfied. My new sarmentosa is soooooooo beautiful too! But no pics from me as i am posting pics illiterate, it never works for me. Lol

LMAO....Yeah, we believe you!

[marie]

I'm jealous.

My daughters were thinking of heading down to victoria in the summer and I asked them what the possibility was of going to an old, tattooed guys place to buy coral frags for me. The answer?........"Mom, that would be creepy" :lol: I guess I will have to plan a trip down myself


*edit* Brad, to keep the record straight I actually said a guy my age covered in tattoos and my youngest daughter pipes up "you mean old"....ya gotta love kids

Honestly, my pics don't do them justice!

[muck]

Wow Brad.. Nice looking frags from Darryl.

Grow them up and I'll be knocking when I set up a tank again. :mrgreen:

[lastlight]

I haven't seen Brad this excited since he brought the hammer down on MarkoD. They look sweet!

To be perfectly honest, I got no pleasure in removing Mark. I tried really hard to work out some etiquette rules with him, without much luck. He does currently come here under a different ID, and has agreed to not post. I've even been giving some thought to inviting him back, if he can agree to be slightly less annoying :)

[Reefer Rob]

I'm in Victoria this weekend, can I pick a frag of the PM?... or is it still too soon :mrgreen:

[Proteus]

Alway good to hear something positive

There isn't really a list. "If" it ever gets fragged, there are a couple that are reserved :)

[Reefer Rob]

News flash: Purple Monster siting in Victoria causes mass hysteria in Western Canada :razz:
